paokarag4 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Damn, tricky draw. Are we sure it'll be Toumba? I saw something similar but I thought all one legged qualifiers would be at a neutral venue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Eagle Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 You play at home unless there are COVID-19 related airtraffic problems that prevent the awayteam going to country x. As Greece is also one of the neutrals (good joke BTW: Rizoupoli is also one of the 7 Greek appointed venues that are appropriate according to UEFA) I see no problem playing at Toumba.

PaokCT Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 If we win, do we pick up Besiktas’ points so we’d be seeded or is that next round. I seem to remember hearing it starts in Q3 not Q2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Eagle Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Used to be like that but now the draw is after the game. So every club that proceeds will have its own coefficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 Important game that we need to win just to secure EL group stage spot. Besiktas lost several key players in recent days. Also their first training session for next season was today, which should give us some advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 Rumor is that the PAOK - Besiktas will take place on August 26 at 22:00 EEST. Also it's almost certain that it will be televised on PAOK TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Doesn't UEFA's own TV deal preempt PAOKTV's ability to show this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pash Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Saw a few retweets of Turkish sports sites saying there's a good chance that the game will be played on neutral ground, though a recent post by inPAOK seems to say otherwise. I guess we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bajewy Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 If we play in Greece θα εχουμε επεισοδια win or lose. i see a euro-ban on the horizon.☠️☠️☠️ im hoping itll be played somewhere else. can we make some phone calls and get it played in like romania or serbia or something?

pash Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 They all do, I believe all the big Turkish teams are under third party administration of their finances. The Turkish league is about to implode (which will make them extra desperate for this CL money, as it could make or break their season). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nea Bafra Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 the PAOK FC tweet about this game is a s%$#! show of turkish propaganda. do these guys keep a massive folder of kemal pictures on hand or something? i especially like the tweets from some of them teasing us about them beating oly 4-1. they really don't understand greek football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 The game has been scheduled by UEFA for August 25, 2020 at 21:00 EEST at Toumba Stadium. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Is there an actual worry about the turf not being ready? It feels like three or four weeks should be more than adequate (they started like the day after the team left for training right?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Eagle Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Draw for CL Q3 is Monday August 31st. Only 1 leg. First drawn club plays at home. We are unseeded. The seeded teams are: Benfica, Dinamo Kyiv and AA Gent. I would rather not have Benfica again. So for for me one of the other two. The draw for CL Q4 (or officially PO) is made on september 1st. Benfica and Dinamo (or their conquerors) are seeded, Gent (or the conqueror) and Krasnodar are unseeded. There is a restriction: The Ruski's can not be drawn with the Ukrainian side due to the tensions between the two countries. So the paring is Benfica-Krasnodar and Dinamo-Gent or their conquerors. There will be two legs in PO. Draw determines who plays home first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athens4 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 You brothers realise it is actually better to draw Benfica now, right? QR3 is just one match, whereas the Play Off is two legs. We can use the one game to give it all we got then hope for an 'easier' opponent in the play off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pash Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Yes, it would be best to get them now. I still dread them though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 We stand no chance against Benfica, and if we play like yesterday we have no chance against Kiev either. For that reason I prefer Gent which is the easiest opponent, specially if we play them at Toumba. If we qualify to the playoffs, we get an extra 5 mil in prize money, which might be our real goal anyway, and then have a better fighting chance in a 2-game series in the playoffs.

pash Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 (edited) Where are you getting this 5mm in prize money for just reaching the playoffs? I see 480k earned by winning round 3, in addition to the 280k we earned yesterday. https://www.sportekz.com/football/uefa-champions-league-prize-money/ -edit- I'm guessing you're adding to this the EL group stage monies? That would be just shy of 3mm, so presumably washing out at the playoffs would net us around 3.7mm up to that point?

Blackhawk Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 I am going by last season's distribution: https://sillyseason.com/money/champions-league-prize-money-91913/ I am assuming not much has changed for the new season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 Did some more research on the subject ... For reaching the EL group stage we are getting the following: € 2,920,000 - for making the group stage of EL € 2,777,130 - coefficient payment (based on 5-year coefficient in UEFA standings) € 2,000,000 (minimum) - 5,692,130 (maximum) - market pool (based on how many Greek teams make the group stage So far we have € 7,697,130 guaranteed If we qualify to the CL playoff round (and lose) we will receive an additional € 5,000,000 In group stage we will also receive € 570,000 for each win and € 190,000 for each tie. If we win the group we will get extra € 1,000,000. If we finish 2nd we will get € 500,000 If by any miracle we make the CL group stage we will make a lot of money. We will revisit this if it happens. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
